While we were in Nova Scotia, we spent a few days at the Pictou Lodge Beach Resort, minutes from both the town of Pictou and from the Prince Edward Island Ferry. 

I was traveling with my family in the beginning of January when I received an e-mail from my friend Claire saying that she booked a spa getaway in February and included my name on the list. As much as I got excited to get away for one night, my mind immediately started to race on all the things I had to do prior to leaving the house without the kids.

When Life With A Baby, an organization I have come to rely on since having my daughter 2 years ago, announced they were partnering with Ste. Anne’s Spa as a way for moms to take some time for self-care, I didn’t hesitate to jump in on the opportunity. Spending a night in a cottage and the day in a Spa with girlfriends isn’t something that happens every day so when the offer comes up…you take it!

In the part of the world where I live the lines between the seasons have been blurring lately. Now, we have lovely warm pretend spring days followed by the worst snowstorm in any number of years, and back and forth.
